I am catching up with posting online my articles.
I want to finish my project as soon as possible was my "directive principle" in the last couple of years. And to make this principle real I was pushing myself to work over the limits. Of course I made a good progress with some of my tasks but then I saw it "on my own skin" ( I got sick and exhausted ) that this is not really an effective way to follow. And so I started to work on it and change it in the last couple of months.
Recently I work on a project which has been on hold for almost a year. Now I have reduced and cut all other responsibilities as much as possible so that I do not have any distractions. And I cannot say that I wouldn't like to have this project to be completed as soon as possible. I would love to have it done. But then this task is kind of complex. I have to learn new skills and the project requires a lot of preparations and adjustments of the machinery. And I have to say that that things go quite slow. The other day one piece of my computer got broke and I had to wait for almost 2 weeks till I got the new part.
Thus although I would like to have my project to be finished as soon as possible I do not commit the same mistake as I did in the last couple of years. I work on it. Quite often I need to push myself ( from within ) as I do not feel like doing this adjustments of the machine. It is boring in a sense. But I do because I know that this is necessary. Once I master this skill it will give me more possibilities to work on my project and be independent from other people. There is nothing wrong with working with and being dependent on other people. But the point is that I do not know adequate people who could do this task. And if they were here where I live then their service would be quite expensive.
Anyway I work on my project. I want to finish it as soon as possible. But I do not push myself over the limits of physical tiredness and exhaustion. I do it at the slow pace but I do go forward.
